Lately (the dreamy alternate reality edition)

piles of books and many naps
coffee, tea and mushroom caps

deer tracks in the crystal snow
pooh and piglet always know

how to let the happy grow
in you, in me, above, below

the branches of our fevered dreams
that glitter, glow and brightly gleam

  3. Lovely in word and image. I especially like the staging of the first photo — the color and texture and light, the pine cones. Wonderful attention to both detail and overall effect. The rhyming couplets are sweet– especially for those of us who admire Piglet and Pooh — and organically pleasurable.

  7. I’ve always enjoyed animal tracks in the snow, Sylvia. It’s like the woodland creatures are letting us see what they are up to. Given the icy cold days we have been having here, and I assume you as well, I haven’t been outside much to check them out. Now naps, I can handle just fine. Those icicles look deadly! Here’s to Winnie the Pooh.

    1. We had 13 inches of very heavy snow which has now turned to solid mountains of ice as the temperature has been so frigid. I like winter, but I must say (because my driveway is long and steeped), I’m a bit over it!
      Nap on Curt….:)

    1. My husband was telling me about his books he’s reading (history, philosophy…) which made me a little bit shy to say, “I’ve been reading the Chronicles of Winnie the Pooh”. Honestly Sherry the combination of what’s happening in our country and what’s happening in my own personal life has left me only able to read something like Pooh. Thank you for appreciating the “unrealistic” whimsey that I’m using as a bit of a lifeline right now.

  13. I missed this one! Beautiful photos and I love your poem – very A.A. Milne – and ironically, I just recently listened to the biography “Goodbye Christopher Robin”, which nudged me to take out and read once more “When We Were Very Young” and “And Now We Are Six”. Then regretted I have no Pooh books!

    These days, it is very comforting to read childrens books. I also read Charlie Mackesy’s lovely “Always Remember, The Boy, the Mole, the Fox and the Horse” – if you are unfamiliar with them, I highly recommend to you.

    1. I’m having a hard time thinking lately and was not getting very far with reading, so I turned to some children’s literature and have been enjoying that. I absolutely love Charlie Mackesy, his writing and his illustrations. That’s a great recommendation.

      3. Neither am I, to be honest. So yes, like you, I welcome recommendations. Actually, I signed up with Chirp for audiobooks as I have begun to really appreciate listening to books during my walks and thanks to their recommendations, I have discovered new writers 🙂
